Discover the Advantages of SFG Wealth Planning Services

Founded in 1993, we are a fee-only financial planning team dedicated to senior executives only. Our clients are decision makers whose time is their most valuable asset. They are looking to delegate aspects of their financial, tax planning and investment activities to accelerate and protect their wealth, while they manage their careers.

All of our clients have complex stock-based compensation issues that require a high degree of specialized expertise. That’s why we accept executives representing both private companies and America’s FORTUNE 500 companies.

What Makes SFG Unique?

Concentrate first on source of wealth We advocate a fee-only, holistic approach to financial planning that begins at wealth’s source: the stock-based compensation of senior executives.

Integrate power of wealth multiplier effect with financial planning Few sources offer as rapid a chance to build wealth as an executive’s stock-based compensation plan.

Focus on FORTUNE 500 companies To provide the expertise required for our clients’ plans, SFG focuses on the stock-based, deferred compensation, pension, and 401(k) plans, as well as company insurance, of FORTUNE 500 companies.

Pursue a highly engaged, personalized approach to implementing and monitoring each plan Through our Executive Planning Services, SFG implements and monitors all aspects of a client’s financial life on a fee-only basis, covering stock-based compensation, estate, retirement, education, tax, insurance, and investment planning.

We maintain fiduciary responsibility for our clients' investment portfolios and our investment committee is chaired by President Chuck Steege. Our investment capabilities are augmented by an external team of specialized professionals - including PhD's in economics, CFAs and MBAs - who assist in selecting and monitoring the investments and provide overall oversight of the portfolio. This oversight allows us to optimize our resources and dedicate substantial attention to our clients' investments.
